Day 1 of liquid diet

[GigiDee88 2]

To all of you on your liquid diet or starting it soon...this will be the hardest thing you are having to do because we aren't used to it. But after a couple days you will feel better! Remember to have your broth when feeling tired and little strength because the salt is important. Just go easy on the broth if you have high blood pressure. I thought I couldn't do the liquid stage but if you want the surgery it is extremely important to shrink the liver. Most Obese or Morbidly Obese people have fatty liver which makes it difficult to perform the surgery. I have heard that some doctors will not do the surgery if they look inside at the beginning of surgery and you didn't do the liquid diet. It feels like hell now because your stomach is still big and hungry. After surgery you won't want even broth at first. The only thing I wanted was ice chips and sugar free popsicles. Good Luck! Hang in there!

Hi!! I start my liquid diet this Monday and I’m terrified but I know I can do it. Have you been able to find some kind of schedule to help plan during the two week liquid diet??

Well, I didn't have a schedule, I just had my Protein Shakes. I started my day with a Premier shake but not anymore I have my own whey Protein because its cheaper to mix it in a shaker cup. But your stomach will dictate your schedule for you. When you are hungry put more Fluid in. How many shakes did they say you could have a day. 2 or 3? Are they allowing you the sugar free pops? If they are girl go get some! No sugar added is fine too. They have some called Price saver sugar free twin pops at Walmart that I ate all the time. It helps to have something to eat and not just drink. Have plenty on hand all the time. Its been a lifesaver to me even now after surgery. My surgery was 12/12/17. I had to go through my birthday, wedding anniversary and Christmas on a liquid diet. You can do this! If I can anyone can. It does suck but keep it in mind that you are in need of the surgery not a good meal. Be strong! Don't let your cravings sabotage your journey to success!

My dietician said I could have between 3-4 Protein Shakes and I can have popsicles but they told me sugar free. My mom even said she’d drink something liquid with me at dinner so I think I have good support. [emoji16]

How are you doing? I’m on day 6 of 14 and am being very strict. I’ve lost 10 lbs (probably Water but still!) and I’ve noticed it’s curing me of the BLTs (bites, licks and tastes) I usually do with my kids’ food. I’m glad I’m doing it, it’s good preparation for post-op!

Hi!! Day one is rough! But I have stayed on track and still have another shake and sf Jello to go. I think it will get easier. It is nice with a goal in site.

Good luck!!

Hi everyone. I’m new to this also. I’m in day 4 of my liquid diet and surgery is scheduled for the 26th of this month. It’s nice to see everyone’s comments and to know I’m not the only one doing this.
